Alexis Ohanian resigned from reddit today. (he's married to Serena Williams)

I co-founded @reddit 15 years ago to help people find community and a sense of belonging.

It is long overdue to do the right thing. I’m doing this for me, for my family, and for my country.

I’m saying this as a father who needs to be able to answer his black daughter when she asks: What did you do?

I have resigned as a member of the reddit board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate, and I will use future gains on my Reddit stock to serve the black community, chiefly to curb racial hate, and I’m starting with a pledge of $1M to @kaepernick7’s @yourrightscamp

I believe resignation can actually be an act of leadership from people in power right now. To everyone fighting to fix our broken nation: do not stop.

Translation: "I'm not happy with the not-so-high level of censorship on Reddit right now, so I'm taking my ball and going home. Hopefully they replace me with someone who will be even more aggressive about enforcing politically correct speech and rightthink."

Also pretty easy to resign when you're financially set for life anyway.
